This communal environment plays a key role in recovery, allowing individuals to share experiences and encourage one another, helping to build a sense of community throughout the process.

Our admissions team will support you throughout the process of planning your journey to Sri Lanka, working closely with you and anyone assisting you. The steps include an initial assessment, followed by confirming your stay at The Beekeeper Sri Lanka. While you’ll handle your travel arrangements, we’ll provide guidance and assistance at every stage. Upon your arrival in Sri Lanka, our team will welcome you at the airport and escort you to the facility. Once there, you’ll undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation, which includes drug and alcohol testing, as well as a detailed assessment to tailor your treatment plan.
Before your journey to Sri Lanka, our admissions team will thoroughly guide you on all necessary documentation, including visa requirements, to ensure a seamless arrival.
Our program requires a minimum stay of 35 days, as this duration has proven essential for achieving meaningful change. However, we understand that individual circumstances may call for adjustments. For more details, please speak with our admissions team.
Sri Lanka provides a serene and supportive environment for healing, with its warm climate, rich cultural heritage, historic temples, scenic nature trails, and pristine beaches. Our services combine exceptional quality with affordability, offering care at lower costs than in the US, Europe, New Zealand, or Australia. This is made possible by reduced operational expenses, allowing us to pass on the savings without compromising on excellence.
Our centre offers treatment in the mid to upper range for the region. While we occasionally offer promotional discounts, it’s important to note that we are an accredited rehab with world-class facilities and expert staff. We are dedicated to providing our clients with the full value of their investment, ensuring that no corners are cut in the quality of our services. For more detailed information, feel free to contact us directly.
During the initial assessment, you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions about our services or other concerns, while we assess your specific treatment needs. This discovery call is complimentary. If, after the discussion, we feel that we may not be the best fit for you, we will gladly assist with a referral to the appropriate service.
We work with most insurance providers and are happy to assist in the process. Typically, you will need a “letter of guarantee,” which is a document from your insurer confirming the coverage amount, any client co-payment, and other terms. However, an initial deposit is required to secure your place with us. Our admissions team will guide you through this process and provide advice on accessing your superannuation if needed.
The Beekeeper Sri Lanka is part of a broader regional network of mental health and wellness companies that have successfully supported hundreds of clients over the years. We also own or have stakes in several wellbeing companies specialising in Yoga and Holistic Practices. This allows us to draw on extensive experience from our team across multiple locations, enhancing the quality of care we provide.
Mindfulness, yoga, and meditation are among the most researched and effective alternative treatments, with strong evidence supporting their impact. A meta-analysis showed that mindfulness practices reduced cravings and improved abstinence rates for substance use at levels comparable to many evidence-based methods. We integrate these practices with clinical psychology and modern medicine to create a comprehensive approach, leading to powerful outcomes for our clients.
The weather in Sri Lanka is tropical, warm, and often humid, with cooler nights, particularly in the hills where our centre is located. Due to the elevation, it can be a bit chillier than other areas, so it’s wise to pack for cooler evenings as well as warm days. While dressing for the climate is essential, it’s equally important to respect Sri Lanka’s more conservative culture when outside the centre. For example, shoulders and knees should be covered when visiting temples.
